If I produce software incorporating a W3C standard that prohibits use in
a particular field, then presumably those restrictions would have to be
passed on to my users.
I would be unwilling to do that.
When I write software, I look at the incredible wealth of GPL-licensed
software and libraries available to me, so the I _don't reinvent the
wheel_! If a W3C standard is incompatible with such licensing, such a
standard will automatically alienate a huge code base, and a large
developer base.
That would be, quite clearly, unacceptable.
Sincerely,
Zenaan
